We are fine

I wanted to post and let you guys know we are fine! I appreciate the emails and comments left asking if we are alright, due to the tornadoes that hit down here in Texas yesterday. The bad stuff skirted by where our farm is... a town approximately 25 miles away did get some houses flattened and damage but we never got that here the storm was going north east not straight east. That was close enough for me I must say. Its the town where I go to regularly for groceries and such, Forney.

Honeymans office is in Dallas however and didn't fair so well. At one point I saw on TV they were giving yet another take cover now warning saying they had yet another rotation, they felt another tornado in the air and they showed it on the map and gave the street locations... It was right over my honeymans office! No one was hurt but they did get hit. Busted Windows, leaking roof, skylights busted out. The cars in the parking lot got beat to heck with baseball sized hail and windows busted out. He had pulled his truck into the warehouse just minutes before it hit. whew... one other guy got his truck in the warehouse as well.. No one at the office was injured.

I was thinking of you yesterday, hoping all was fine and glad to hear the good news. I still have some distant relatives living in the Dallas area but more north and didn't hear of their towns having any damage. Wicked weather, for sure.

I'm so glad to hear that you are OK. That was a very scary thing to watch on TV and I don't know that I could live in tornado country. My hubby agreed that I would panic like crazy! Anyway, I hope no other storms come that close and it is good to know all is well at your house.

Hi there, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chrishttp://chelencarter-retiredandlovingit.blogspot.ca/

So glad to hear all is safe. Sorry to hear about the office getting hit. In all the years as a kid when we lived in tornado alley I was lucky and never had to experience a tornado and don't want to start now that's for sure.

Ozark Mountains, Arkansas

Its a place where the mountains whisper, the creeks and springs sing songs to your soul. The trees blow a breeze of pure contentment. Earth, wind, fire and water. All the elements of being. Mother nature and her sprites in all their glory live there. Once you have lived in these mountains, you may leave them for a time. You may move far, far away for many years, but they will never leave you. They will softly beckon to your soul...return, return home .... We are here as we have always been and always will be. Come home ...The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, where I am from and where we will retire.

About Me

A bit off the beaten path in my thinking, okay probably not even close to the path.
I love to grow things, being outside in the dirt is a have to for me. Its as much a part of my well being as eating and drinking.
I enjoy life, no I love life. I try hard to take care of this body I have been loaned for the duration. A healthy lifestyle is important to me... exercise, organic food and being vegetarian for over 30 years fit into that.
Occupation: Interior Design and I am a Farmer. Quite the mix no? :O)
